Our Verdict
The $30 allowance is pretty generous and should cover most regular returns. Definitely worth using Paypal when buying an item that may need a paid return. Paypal ran this offer for a couple months over the recent holiday season, and it’s looking like this will become more of a permanent benefit of buying via Paypal Kudos to them for that.
I don’t see any restriction excluding resellers, and this should come in handy for them. The limit of 11 should be per Paypal account, so it can be pretty useful.
Remember also that Shoprunner offers free returns as well if you made a purchase using that service.
